I am looking for same. Did you find one

White Redbud has been very hardy in the Cincinnati area even when the temperature dropped to _-24degrees in 1994. It is an excellent plant for the landscape.

Try Natorps for both...398-2550 mason 384-3350 florence

How is your lindera obtusiloba performing so far Ive attempted to grow it from seed on at least 4 different occasions but apparently the seed was never collected at the fresh stage . Ive had lindera angustifolia growing in my garden for the last 10 years or so and the Fall color is very nice . So because MY lindera angustifolia seed is very fresh , it does propagate from seed .

This plant grows fine in part shade and sun but full shade it tends to thin out. It is a tough plant but too much shade may do it in. Plants like Hellebore, Rohdea, and epimedium would do well. Variegated solomons seal is another good oneSteve

Try Ammon Nursery in Northern Kentucky. 859-586-6246 ask for Amy. They had three there this week left over from last year. Tell her plant places sent you

Katrina,Ammon Nursery in Northern Kentucky has a few left. Ask for Amy 859-586-6246. tell her plant places sent you.

Judy,I think you are asking to much out of your planter. What I would suggest is to do a nice job with summer annuals then in the fall you can switch out your planters with evergreens like junipers, arborvitae, boxwood, or any other evergreen knowing it will be swithched out come May next year. You could plant yellow Dynamite pansies along with your evergreens in the winter.As for summer color you cant beat Sweet potato vines as the plant cascading over the planters. Petunia Vista Bubblegum Pink would also be a good choice. Check out the Zoos Best list and anything on the list would probably workSteve

Two nurseries may carry this. One is Ammon Nursery in Northern Kentucky 859-586-6956. Ask fo Amy tell her plant places sent youThe other is Natorps They may have it as well. 513-398-2550 Let me know if you find it.Steve

Try Ammon Nursery in Northern Kentucky 859-586-6246 ask for Amy. Tell her plant places sent you. We bought some 6-7 specimens last year that were very nice.Steve

Provided you are in a somewhat protected area free of open winter winds I would say this is a good choice.Steve

See how it progresses through the season. If it doesnt get better you may want to divide the grasses next Feb/March. Steve

I dont think Tiger Eyes is going to be too picky about pH. As long as you plant it good well drained soil with some amending you will be fine. The better the soil the more productive the plant

Thank you for your comments. We appreciate your interest in great plants for the landscape. If you have any other photos of plants in the landscape that you see, please send them. Thanks

Enkianthus campanulatus is what is normally sold in this area. Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest has Enkianthus perulatus which we think is superior however they are not grown in the nursery industry. This is why we added this to the Louisville site. The hope is to see this particular species propagated and sold in the region to test it out. Thanks for your comments.

I have always felt Burkwood Viburnum is one of the best. Good fragrant blooms, glossy summer foliage and good late red to orange fall color. What more could you ask for.

Thank you for your comments. We are excited about the educational value of this site. Stay tuned for more.

We have tried to plant hollies under our oak tree with NO success. I think it is just too dry for them to survive. We have a Japanes Kerria and Oakleaf hydrangea under the oak tree and they have survived for 20 years but we need to water the hydrangea on a regular basis, the Kerria seems more drought tolerant and is beautiful in the spring with its yellow blooms. Honestly we have not had much luck growing any holly in our yard, we do have shade and clay soil which is acidic so not sure why they dont thrive.

It is possible to grow Pistache in Northern Kentucky. The Zoo has several specimens that have gone as low as negative 24 degrees. Try BZAK landscape. Ask for Dave.Steve

Several local nurseries carry this tree. Try Ammon Nursery in Northern Ky. 859-586-6246 ask for Amy.Steve

Likely no. Yellowwoods dont do particularly well in heavy soils, espetially in full sun. I might suggest a Zelkova variety or Honeylocust, as they will be more tolerant of harsh conditions. A note about taproots I dont know for sure if yellowwoods have a trong taproot or not, but any tree transplanted balled and burlapped wil have had all roots severed and wont form another strong taproot. Containerized tress should have all circling roots removed before planting, and this usualy removes the taproot as well.

Bignonia Tangerine Beauty. This comes out of Georgia from Monrovia. Rewholesalers who deal with Monrovia have access to this plant.Thanks,Steve

Have you tried Song Sparrow nursery They may have it. Steve

What area are you from.

What area are you from.

BothAmmon nursery in burlingtron and Natorps has carried these in the past I would check with Ammon 859-586-6246. Ask for AmySteve

Hey Paul thanks for responding. We have a lot of new items on plant places so I am glad to see you on.Steve

Has this plant been hardy where you are located

Tom,We do not sell trees on the site but we try to connect potential buyers with local suppliers. I will pass your requests on to our nursery group to see who has this plant available.Thanks for using plantplaces

Ive been noticing those as well. Theres one growing up against a food service building opposite the train station one by a viewing stand for one of the rhinos Indian, and one along the walking path at the elephant complex overlooking towards the duck pond. These are all taller specimens and as mentioned above, theres several new smaller ones planted between the elephant area and the boardwalk bordering the pond. I picked up several of its little brown seeds today 2-13-11, they are about an 1/8 and round, light brown, hard and lightly wrinkled. From what I read about its potential for being invasive, at least down south, they shouldnt be too hard to sprout. I also read thats only hardy to about a Z7, but these Cincy Zoo trees evidently have not been keeping current on those stats, so probably a tougher cultivar or just has inherent variability with some seedlings taking lower temps. But no, I havent seen them sold locally, just via websites.

Mary,I believe Ammon has this plant as well as Natorp and Greenfield. We will send your request to our nursery cooperators to see who responds with availability.Good to hear from youSteve

Advice to recipient above, simply wait. In Northwestern Illinois in 2002 I planted an Acer Igriseum/I that took well more than three or four years before it went from exactly what youre describing to a wonderful bright red and orange.One tip I can relay to all of you on the plant search at your local nurseriesWhen purchasing plants seedlings only should be considered - grafts will always come true to type ...they should be purchased during the peak of their fall colors, ...at the nursery. You might be looking for an Acer triflorum and come to see that most of the fall colored seedlings were yellow, but those few special ones had read and orange, tones.Good luck Missouri. 15 inches sounds a little closer -

Have a beautiful specimen from Song Sparrow Nursery in WI www.songsparrow.com. If that particular Fagus is not listed online, call to ask. Phenomenal plant people. Always excellent plant health.

Please send me a source to purchase a Sophora Japonica pendula for Massachusetts and Michigan

Ammon wholesale has now gone retail as well. Try calling them.

The last place I saw a Pistache was at BZAK in Newtown. They had one left. The best time to get one may be when the weather cools.

Pam,I think you are more likely to find straight Hamamelis vernalis locally. That would be the one I would try for a screen. We will try to locate this for you. Steve

We will get in touch as soon as we find them. Thanks for using plantplaces

Try Ammon Nursery in Burlington Ky. Ask for Amy 859-586-6246. You might also ask for one called Perkins Pink. They have had some containers in the past. Tell them plantplaces sent you. Let us know if you have any luck.

Typically mid summer along with butterfly bush.

Wenwill look locally but maybe your best bet is Song Sparrow Nursery in Wisconsin. They are a mail order company that may carry it. Thanks,Steve

Karen,Dr. Dan Potter at the University of Kentucky Entomology may be able to lead you to the strips. He and his grad students were working on this issue. Looks really promising to meSteve

We are looking for it as well. Most locally grown tend to be the littleleaf linden. If you find the cultivar Redmond it is primarily an American Linden and will do well. Try either Natorps or Sharon Nursery. We will keep looking.Steve

For bulk compost there are a few places I would check out. If you need a lot 6080 yards I would look at Kurtz Bros in Columbus Ohio. If you just need a few scoops try Forest Lytle on Galbrath.

Nancy,This is an inexpensive shrub that grows to about 4-5 feet. A 3 gallon size plant will grow pretty quickly. Great bloomer but not much after that.

Carl, I have not seen any yet. Just Bracken Brown Beauty. Will continue to look

Good idea... and a very relevant subject. Certainly trees do have different lifespans, and its an important factor in deciding what tree to buy.Were working on revamping our search engine to make it simpler and easy to access. We appreciate your feedback. Any other suggestions you have are welcome.BrandanIT Directorwww.PlantPlaces.com

Sounds like salt damage.

I have seen some at Natorps in cincinnati. How big and how many are you looking forSteve

Most larger nurseries will carry the Snow fountain Cherry. best selection should be in late April to early May.

Just about any landscape nursery will carry Snow Fountain Cherry. Try Ammon Nursery in Burlington Ky 859-586-6246

Most larger nurseries will carry this tree or have access to where to get it. Check around May because nurseries will have thier full stock in at that time. Call around to most nurseries.

Ammon Nursery in Burlington Ky carries most of these plants. 859-586-6246

Northern Belle is a cultivar of Sweetbay magnolia. It blooms in June but not like you more common Saucer magnolias that are blooming now. Is thin so it would be nice for close viewing but if you neede something full it may not work. That is the question you need to ask before making the decision. Also Amelanchier Cumulus will do well.Steve

What area are you from

Try either Ammon Nursery,, Natorps, or Greenfield Plant Farm. I would wait until the new crop arrives for spring which will be in early May though. Get one that is fully leafed out

Try either Natorps or Ammon Nursery.

Try Greenfield plant farm

We will keep our eyes out and email when we find them

I havent seen any yet this spring. I will keep looking and email when I see one

Try Natorp in Florence or Mason. They have it.

Thanks for the compliments on the Tulip display The grass you are asking about is Andropogon The Blues or The Blues Little Bluestem. Another name is Schizacharium The BluesGreenfield Plant Farm usually carries this grass.

Delhi Garden Center has this plant. Call and ask for Jill at 771-7117 or 759-4700 ask for JillSteve

Probably slugs...they love basil.

Sue, I am not sure how much shade it will thrive in. Ussually it is best in full sum. I would probably go more towards a Bottlebrush buckeye, or Viburnum dentatum cultivar if shade is there. Is the area moistAnother option is burkwood viburnum whick is one of the toughest of the viburnums.

Japanese Wisteria is a very fast grower and is aggresive so you need to have plenty of support for it. Most larger nurseries carry this plant. Buy a named cultivar for best results.

It is probably Hosta plantaginea. The August Lily.

Marys Plant Farm carries Kousa Dogwood. 513-8940022 Ask for Sheri. Tell her plantplaces sent youSteve
